Entry tags:

Updates, news, memes!

Puh!~

Gosh this weather is really §$%§$%"§ ..... storm, snow, rain, cold (T___T)
Oh well, but that´s not the reason for my entry.
I´ve made a new User Info! Finally (^_____^)
I still have my old one here , because I loved it and it was a lot of work back then XD

I don´t think that I will update the JOURNAL INDEX anymore. It´s just so damn detailed that it´s too much work to keep it updated (^^;) .... but I won´t delete it either, cuz this was REALLY a lot of work XD
I´m currently working on a cute/useful taglist index, but that´s the only thing that is not ready yet ^^;

I´ve also made a new layout for my Japanese journal [livejournal.com profile] densha_onna, although I´m not writing much there lately (^^;)
But I always wanted an unique layout there and here it is. Hope you like it XD
And while I was at it, I´ve also made a NEW USER INFO for [livejournal.com profile] densha_onna as well (^-^;) .......

I´ve also updated my CURRENTLY WATCHING/READING entry. I´ve neglected it toally and never updated properly. Now I´ve made it a sticky post and I hope that this will make me update more often XD
Oh and I´ve changed small things about my layout here, perhaps you´ve noticed some things, but I still love this one very much, so I won´t change it any time soon ^-^; .....

When I´ve finished the taglist index, I´ll prolly play around a bit with theme layers, although it sounds quite difficult?! .... Oh well XD

I have 2 random questions, perhaps s.b. can help? XD (don´t worry it´s not that important)

  • Do you know where I can find a good audio crop program? I wanna crop some mp3s so that I can use them as ringtones, but I don´t have a program. I don´t want anything BIG!!! The smaller, the better. Perhaps s.o. can direct me to a good one? ^^ (You know a program that allows me to cut out short parts of a mp3 XD)

  • And do you know where I can find .ico graphics? ^^; Or is there a way that PS will help me here in any way? XD



That´s all for now.
Man, I´m tired. ..... One shouldn´t start with layouting XDDD ..... you can´t stop!!!!! *headdesk*


Oh, and I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] gabenut!

And because I haven´t done any memes in a long time and I think this one is great for now, I´ll do it (^-^)


The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.



  1. My bento addiction of course! I totally love to make, eat and look at bentos and that makes me very happy lately (^_____^)

  2. My trip to Japan still makes me happy, although I miss the country and my friends there of course, but still HAPPY! ^-^

  3. That I´m actually rewatching a drama for the FIRST TIME! It´s Kimi wa petto which was my 2nd jdrama ever (in 2003) ^-^ Now knowing basically ALL of the actors is .... great ^-^ .... and MatsuJun´s acting makes me always happy!! ^-^V

  4. TOMA´S NEXT DRAMA ROLE!!!!!!! Yay he got a leading role! ^-^ .... and I love Honey & Clover so I´m expecting a lot and am totally happy for him! ^-^

  5. That I finally had some free time, it was really needed. I was exhausted, but I could recover quite a lot ^-^

  6. All of YOU! for fangirling with me and telling me stuff I didn´t know yet, sharing stuff and SO ON! Love you! ^-^

  7. Heroes has finally started here in Germany and I love it. Wednesdays make me happy because I can watch Heroes, Desperate Houswives AND Grey´s Anatomy! <33333

  8. Playing poker for the first time without knowing anything and still winning from time to time XD

  9. Some new snacks and green teas I bought make me happy as well (yeah, yeah it´s always all about food! XD)

  10. And something very trivial: Having more user pics makes me kind of happy as well XD (but I think more than that would give me troubles XDDD)





This is not in a particular order btw.
I hate tagging, but I´ll do it anyway. Of course you don´t have to do it and please feel free to do this meme even if you´re not tagged!! ^^;

Wow that's a lot of updating! Lol.

I use Wavepad to make my ringtones (when I don't feel lazy). It's really easy to use. But whether it's good or not, I don't know cos it's the only program I've used. Hahha. Hasn't given me any problems though. (:

It is the prettiness (*'▽'*)わぁ♪ The userinfo, that is! I am jealous now DX

I'm sorry I can't help you with any of your questions;_; Apparently I dunno anything about computer stuff after being away for SO VERY LONG XD;

And YESH I'm tagged!!! >8D *bad excuse to update lj*

Darn... I answered that bloody ten-things meme about three times in the last four weeks.... *sigh*
- getting my back scratched
- finding the "Blueprint" videoclip on Youtube
- NaNo going so well
- chocolate
- looooog sleep
- eating yummy lasagne
- meeting Susanne in an english class
- that Lift Me Up video sdblain postet
- my cough getting better.... or maybe not
- not being hit by one of the worst rain attacks the last few weeks

But mainly I was writing because of the Audio programm:
It might be completely overkill for you, but I ADORE Samplitude. And it was on some of these computer magazines that feature CDs. I think it is still making rounds through all the different magazines, so you might get it really cheap.
Other people love wavelab. I never worked with it, but it can't be that hard either.
And I heard that Nero has a kind of audio-programm integrated in it... never went to through the pain to find it, though..

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ich hab doch geschrieben, dass man es nicht machen MUSS! XDDDD *wegrenn*
Ohhh, das mit der Lasagne kann ich verstehen (*__*) ... hätte auch gern mal wieder eine ;o;

Ah! Danke, ich werd mich diesbezüglich mal schlau machen ^-^V

Your userinfo looks great!

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you ^____^

[identity profile] aidenlane.livejournal.com 2007-11-09 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay for the pretty!
As for cutting MP3s - I found two ways to do, one free and one is Mac only (in case someone else reads this and goes ah! that will work for me). MP3 Trimmer is Mac only (sorry) but very nice. And a universal way is just using iTunes. If you go under song info - options and change what portion of it plays and then right click + convert into your desired format (whatever you have preferences - advanced - importing set to), you have a new cut MP3! It's a bit roundabout but it's free. (/babble)
As for .ico, I usually use deviantArt or http://interfacelift.com/icons-win/index.php?sort=date (well, I use the Mac list but yeah). That site has a lot of stuff (I also use it for wallpapers). I can't seem to find any free Windows icon makers (sadness, because I have one for my Mac) but I did find a site that seems to have a photoshop plugin that would do it: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/.
I hope I helped in some way (for someone, anyone). ^_^

I tend to use a program called 'Audacity' for all my music editing needs! It's completely Free, no trials or anything.

Hi! I think your new user profile is completely gorgeous! Although I miss the old one XD.
I have no replies for the 2 questions you asked tho. Sorry! =(((
Thanks for the tag *hugs*. I already posted my list on my LJ =D. #6 is too cute XD thank YOU for your comments *hugs again* And #10 is really true!!!
Good luck with the theme layers!!! (although I have no idea of what you're talking about XD)

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you ^____^
Don´t worry about that :3

*lol* thank you XD believe me, you don´t want to know what theme layers are XDDD

What cute layouts! It must've taken a while to do. ^^; I like fooling around with LJ, but sometimes I reach a limit and give up from frustration. xP

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAHHHHHHH!!!! I loooooooooooooooooove your icon!!!! (*__*) *spazzes*

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 11:18 am (UTC)(link)

Oh that´s easy, just edit the date of your entry and set it to some time in the future (like the end of this months or like ... November 2009) and it will be at the top of all your other entries ^^;

Yay for any updates!!

WOW you're very brave because you managed to make everything concerning LJ in order! I'm impressed and admirative XD Because it'll probably never happens to me... I'm just too lazy to do something about my user info and let's not talk about a layout *fails*

I really like your new profile <3 it's shiny and I learnt many things I didn't know about you YAY

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)

Oooh, das ist doch mal ein schönes Meme!:D Es ist so selten, dass man mal wirklich positive Memes sieht, finde ich zumindest. Oder aber sie landen nie auf meiner friendslist.^^;

Oi, das sind aber eine Menge Updates. Zu deiner Userinfo wollte ich nur kurz anmerken, dass sie etwas zu breit für einen 1024x768 (waren das die richtigen Maße?^^; Du weißt hoffentlich was ich meine) Bildschirm ist, ich musste nach rechts scrollen um die "wichtigen" Sachen sehen zu können. Keine Ahnung ob dir das bewusst war oder nicht, ich wollte es nur mal anmerken.:)

P.S. Heroes!♥
P.P.S. Ähm, ja, zuviele Icons können manchmal wirklich etwas anstrengend sein!XD;

P.P.P.S.Sorry wegen dem [edit].~_~

Errrm, du kannst das gerne auch machen ^^;;; Ist ein bisschen schwierig, alle auf meiner Friendslist zu taggen, das wäre ne lange Liste geworden XDDDD

Glaub mir, mir sind alle Eventualitäten bewusst, weil ich mittlerweile IMMER alles mit verschiedenen Auflösungen, PCs UND Browsern ausprobiere. Ich habe sogar einen noch kleineren Bildschirm 800x600 (oder so ähnlich) und selbst da muss man nicht sooo viel scrollen, um alles zu lesen, also hab ich´s so gelassen :) Trotzdem vielen Dank für die Anmerkung ^-^V

*lol* Ja, du bist ja auch in der dt. Heroes Com, ne? ^-^ Hast du die Folgen auf Englisch zuvor schon gesehen?
Ja, das mit den Icons ..... ich hätte zwar gern etwas mehr als 30, aber mir ist das dann zu teuer und ich kenne mich, dann möchte ich auch das komplette Potenzial ausnutzen und das macht einen ja irre! XDDDDDDDD

Ich find´s toll, dass man jetzt Editen kann XD (zumindest solange mein bezahlter Account noch läuft XD)

Love the new user info design. For some reason I've never really thought about giving my user info page a design, but I should, because it's less work than doing a regular LJ layout and would still be pretty fun!

BTW I think you can save images as an ico easily with various graphic editing programs. For example when I made a favicon I just made it as a gif in photoshop and then saved it as an .ico using graphic converter: http://www.graphic-converter.net/

Also I just came across this freeware plugin for photoshop that adds the option to save as ico, but I haven't tried it personally: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html

[identity profile] chochajin.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you ^^ Yes, that´s true! It´s definitely less work than doing a lj layout ^^

Ah, I found some converters via Google, but I don´t want to download so much stuff. My pc is already crowded with so many stupid programs XD But that plugin sounds great, I´ll try it out, thanks a LOT!!!! ^___^
